Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make the crumb mixture: place all the crumb ingredients (flour - butter) in a bowl and then using a pastry blender cut the butter and the other ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
To make the filling: In a saucepan on medium heat add the canned figs and their liquid and cut the canned figs into small pieces and then add the dried figs and the next 5 ingredients (-cloves) and cook for 5-10 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put half of the crumb mixture into a greased and floured 8 x 8x2 inch baking pan and press the crumbs into the pan.
Step 5
Pour fig filling over the crumb mixture.
Step 6
Crumble the remaining half of the crumb mixture over the fig filling, spreading evenly over entire pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until browned.
